The Father's Choice

My husband is Ancient

Today is my wedding day, my bridegroom comes from a remote area in Tuban district, Tengger village kerek sub-district , this man is so simple he is always friendly to anyone and we met at the wedding in less than ten days but strangely my love grew fast on this ndesoku husband.

At that time my father told me to find a soul mate and get married immediately and I was given a chance for 3 months but whatever the power of every I relate to someone always ended up with a word break up, but, finally the 3 months passed without bringing any results, one night my father called me and introduced an old-fashioned young man to an old-fashioned appearance, father said he would match me with the young man because according to my father I did not do good.

"You believe in me, don't you?"ask me that night.

"Yes my father believes me" I replied.

"Married to Parlin he's the son of a father's friend and I'm sure he can take care of you and make you happy a loving father for a day to think" he said.

Actually I'm so shocked it's a marriage of a lifetime but I was given only last night to think? it's magical my father is but for the sake of making him calm and excited again after the departure of mother finally I agreed to father's request.

"Well father I agree, I'll think in a day's time tomorrow I'll give my answer" I told my father.

I see a smile of relief decorating the lips of father, I lyrics the man and accidentally he was glancing at me ah let me marry this man rather than me being a virgin I do not think.

It did not feel like my time was running out and I also agreed to the father's request that I marry the ancient man with my age of 3 and I was tired of being labeled as a virgin no mannerisms. The party was done according to our custom 30 million dowry was handed to me and I also tried to freely marry the ancient man of choice father.

After a week of the wedding week my husband took me to live in a rented house that was quite far from where my father and brother lived I did not mind and tried to enjoy life with my ndesoku husband.

It did not feel like three months I was living with my ndesoku husband now comes the time for me and my husband to come to my father's house, to attend my family gathering every three months always gather together like an unofficial gathering or what people usually call family arisan.

I came in contact with my husband using a 10-year-old Mio motorbike that I bought in installments.

Upon arrival at my father's house I suspect my brothers have always been arrogant and condescending to my husband therefore my husband would rather be alone than mingling with my brother's brother.

"Love see that your husband likes to plant vegetables, also plucking grass I see it is the basis of wong deso yes," said my brother-in-law wife eldest brother.

I saw my husband pulling grass in front of my father's house and planting vegetables in a used tub, yes, I also wonder why my husband every time he comes to my father's house he always pull the grass that grows wild in front of the yard and also when we are in our own house.

My husband if in this city unemployment while at home busynya just plant vegetables behind and in front of our rented house but do not mistake his business in the village make people klenger money.

My ears got hotter when I heard my brother making fun of my husband. They don't know what my husband is like.

"Enak ya have a husband other villagers busy with mobile phone he was busy gardening," said my brother

"Yes understand the expertise of the villagers and just gardening not like we are city people" as well as my other brothers.

Because I could not bear to finally approach my husband, I noticed the appearance of my husband who was too old-fashioned hair-flapping keeper pants short-sleeved shirt ah really want to cry I see him.

"So don't care I deck! I used to look like this" said Bang Parlin.

"Yes, I've been with my brother, just pull the grass" I said with a frown.

We were married in lightning even to this day I had never come to visit my in-laws' house, we met only when the wedding was taking place.

We gathered inside the house when lunch time arrived, four children three daughters-in-law gathered together at the dinner table and the father suddenly started talking on the sidelines we enjoyed food.

"Dad wants to go for Hajj but the money is not there yet, will you help realize the wishes of father?" ask dad suddenly.

We all fell silent and looked at each other, during this time the father never asked anything from us, even the shah who always helped us his children, we were all helped by capital from the father.

"Dad knows our business is in trouble, but we'll still help dad, we'll help five million" said my oldest brother.

five million? he who can be said to be the most capable of only giving five million assistance especially with others who are living standards below him.

"I'm also three million" replied my second brother.

"I have savings from a side business working in a workshop owned by Mr. Hasan I help father two million," replied my youngest brother.

And now only me and my husband who has not spoken, I lyrics my husband still remains silent as usual.

"Cancel Daddy, wait for the money to collect !the money collected is only ten million is still a lot of shortcomings from where we get," said my eldest brother.

"Don't! the rest I take responsibility" said my husband arrived.

All eyes were on him, a look of complete disbelief was clearly visible in the eyes of my brother not believing that my husband could give up his flaws, after all home we are still contracted let alone to add money to go Hajj father to buy a mobile phone only my husband does not exist thought brother brother brother.

"Bang," I said. More precisely I was questioning what my husband had just said before my brother and father.

"Yes I will pay for all the shortcomings" my husband said confidently.

"Alhamdulillah," said Father closing the conversation and leaving us to go into his room.

Our eyes are still focused on looking at my husband Parlin bang we really doubt his ability. I who know his work does not doubt the amount of money given only I doubt whether my brother believes that it is halal money from work in the village.
